recurrent loss continued

We both felt that we were ready to try again after 5 months and I was fortunate to fall pregnant quite quickly. Obviously we were anxious and we were fortunate enough to receive 3 early scans which were all normal. The day of my 12 week scan came and we went in confident that everything was fine. After 5 minutes of scanning the sonographer went to get a colleague to double check something. We were then told that our baby had anencephaly and would not survive. Disbelief doesn't even come close to how we felt. We were due to go on holiday the next day with our little boy who was so excited we didn't feel we couldn't go. We had to put him first. So we went and we got through it with difficulty but our little man had the time of his life.When we came back a week later we saw a specialist who confirmed the diagnosis. We said goodbye to our little baby 3 days later. Again we knew that we had to try again so I found myself pregnant in the November of 2010. I instinctively knew that I was going to loose this baby even though everyone said it would be fine. A scan at 10 weeks confirmed my suspicions. The baby had not developed beyond 7 weeks. We said goodbye to another little baby and felt utter despair.After much heart searching we decided to try one last time and by June of 2011 we were pregnant again. This time things progressed normally and I finally have birth to Honey in February 2012. I still haven't come to terms with my losses and I don't know that I ever will. I visit my babies' grave often and thank them for sending me my real life angel.Please don't give up hope and I will pray for each of you to have your own real life angel too x
